I dont want your healthcare, your Cap and Trade, or your high tax rate. If people like you want to give more of your money to the government or to the poor to get health insurance then noone is stopping you, go right ahead, just dont make anyone else do what you want.
I love how when people like Lloyd say well Bill Gates and Warren Buffet say they want to pay higher taxes. Well noone is stopping them from giving the government more money, yet they have not done it. Not to mention it is easy to call for higher taxes after you have already made the bulk of your fortune and that bulk will not be taxed. Somehow I think they would think differently if it was going to be made retroactive. The reason is you never heard them say that kind of thing when they originally started their businesses. I dont know somehow I believe back when they were just starting out they where against higher taxes.
If the polls showed Bush to have the low ratings on the war as Obama has had on Healthcare then Bush would not have gone to war in Iraq in the first place. Also dont say well the polls changed after the fact because it is much more difficult to get out of something then to get into it. Just like this heathcare Obama wants. If it gos into effect then there will be no chance to get out of it.
